What an amazing performance of one the the best songs of Peter's (who is one of the all time great rock pop artists). This song still has to be one of the best about human rights ever...
I was around 16 when this song found me. I didn't know the real inspiration for this song at the time, but I got stuck/thrown into a kinda creepy rehab for showing up to school totally drunk. I'd been drunk maybe three times in my life, had never smoked weed or done any other drugs so I don't think I had an "addiction problem", but at the same time, I sort of remember throwing up either on or near our assistant principle, and since my Dad was an alcoholic my Mom (I think) overreacted and BOOM...I literally turned 16 in a rehab. There wasn't any physical or mental abuse, but there was something about their therapy that was just...off. It's hard to explain but it was like pecking party and it disturbed me a lot but I wanted the F out of there so I went along with it. It was a great place to met people over 21 that liked doing drugs but that was the only benefit. This is what made it creepy.. So the place was basically a front for Narconon, who, in turn are a Scientology shill. They didn't throw me on an e-meter or anything like that but they TOTALLY had a controlling, bullbaiting, icky vibe on the surface and you could sense a darker undercurrent beneath waiting like a trap. This song saved me from that.
I just saw Peter’s show November 18 in Austin. It was great. I have loved this song since the Security album. It’s lyrics also can be interpreted for a person confined in depression. It helped me then, his singing. “Hold on!” The NEW BLOOD live is so very expressive and beautiful.
in my opinion, one of his best songs. I've read somewhere that the inspiration came from the people tortured by the dictatorships in chile and argentina. As an argentinian myself, that's beautiful. but at the same time, the lyrics actually mean a lot to me in another personal level. peter is a brilliat composer who could touch your soul with music. truly one of the last of his kind.
This complete live show (New Blood/ Live in London) is terrific. Check it out vk.com/video-68266123_171100404 Podemos hablar en cristiano. Yo Español, de Ferrol, en Galicia. Abrazo Lucio. San Jacinto también está tremenda con cuerdas y al final cuando refleja la luz, muy emocionante. The Washing of the Waters está preciosa también, y las versiones de Boy in the Bubble (Paul Simon) o The Book of Love (Magnetic Fields) para mí superan las originales. El concierto entero con orquesta es increíble. Determinante y desde que lo escuché, recurrente
@@PaterFulaniti muchísimas gracias querido! Gracias por compartir el link. Les deseo pronta recuperación en estos tiempos de m*erda que estamos viviendo, mientras tanto la musica de peter nos une y nos alivia un poco. Abrazo grande
One of the best songs ever from one of the best albums ever. Security! When you hear songs like Red rain and Wallflower you think of people being murdered or tortured in Central America but sometimes his songs can be a metaphor for his mental condition at the time or for a ruined relationship. This is incredible here.
The song is hard enough to endure, let alone what the poor people he's singing about had to go through. Can any one really make it through this without choking up?
Burma / Myanmar 2021. Today I saw pictures of Ma Kyal Sin, a beautiful 19-year-old girl shot in the face by a government sniper. She died wearing a T-Shirt that said: "everything will be okay". Heartbreaking. So many suffering so much at the hands of others.
[Verse 1] 6 by 6 from wall to wall Shutters on the windows, no light at all Damp on the floor, you got damp in the bed They're trying to get you crazy, get you out of your head And they feed you scraps and they feed you lies To lower your defences, no compromise Nothing you can do, the day can be long Your mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on [Chorus] They put you in a box so you can't get heard Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred Hold on, you have gambled with your own life And you face the night alone While the builders of the cages Sleep with bullеts, bars and stone They do not see your road to freedom That you build with flesh and bonе [Verse 2] They take you out and the light burns your eyes To the talking room, it's no surprise Loaded questions from clean white coats Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest You want to resist them, you do your best They take you to your limits, they take you beyond For all that they are doing there's no way to respond [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, hold on [Chorus] They put you in a box so you can't get heard Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred Hold on, you have gambled with your own life And you face the night alone While the builders of the cages Sleep with bullets, bars and stone They do not see your road to freedom That you build with flesh and bone You might also like Intruder (New Blood Version) Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer Peter Gabriel Eat Your Young Hozier [Outro: Peter Gabriel & Ane Brun] Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here And I will say to you, I will do what I can do You may disappear, you're not forgotten here And I will say to you, I will do what I can do And I will do what I can do And I will do what I can do
Thanks for sharing this. Saw what I believe was the first show of the tour that introduced the Security album at Stony Brook NY, and never never forgot this song. Also the first time PG was freed with a wireless headset mic. He was all over the place singing Shock the Monkey! We were all a bit more limber then!
A pesar que esta bella cancion tiene ya varios años de creada...en esta version sinfonica es hermosa y nos lleva a las estrellas a la esperanza...no te rindas...no te rindas...hermoso
I love wallflower. It can be understood in so many ways I think I even dedicated it to a friend of mine who passed away at the early age of 33 for he had burnt himself out being an overachiever I feel that some of his business partners weren't always on the same page which made double work for him what does girlfriend and wrecked his truck all in that same week so I think of him sometimes about that song but I've also thought of other things with wallflower I hope you can make other songs like it
Listening, I think of the late Senator John McCain. How anyone could not think of what he went through and not call him a hero is beyond comprehension.
Back in like 1994 somebody was in a rehab facility that have been forced into and they called me when I was a radio disc jockey at w y c e 88.1 FM in Grand Rapids and requested this song. I of course played it for them.

I guess I've heard too many songs telling the world about the injustices done to the brave and the poor, way back in the 80s. When MTV had gotten huge and so had concerts that got broadcasted to hundreds of millions of people, pop gods seemed to feel obliged to raise their voices for the unlucky ones and oh how did us lucky ones love them for it. It became a fashion, then almost a nuisance, there's been jokes about Michael Jackson, Sting or Bono trying so hard to save the world. After a while, the fashion, like all fashion before, faded, the injustice remained - unsung. Listening to our old heroes still singing these kind of songs today embarrasses me. Look at what we've done to the world, to ourselves, in the past 40 years. You poets and bards have wasted your talents on us.
Funny. I keep getting comments from 'conservatives' who are either propagandists for authoritarian regimes (like Putin, Xi or Trump) or simply let other people tell them what to think. Why they come to a site that features someone like Peter Gabriel is beyond me. They completely miss his message! LOL

I agree 🤗
I understand. This beautiful song comforted me in a period of depression. It is truly multi-dimensional.
Peter Gabriel is God singing to us … Thank you from Eric Watson
So beautiful song.
Another masterpiece from the evergreen maestro. Bravo!
Undoubtly one of Peter's Masterpieces
4 me and all those who have gambled with their own life . .
One of the best songs ever from one of the best albums ever. Security!

This is incredible here.
transversal to the sufferings of each person. there are many types of jailers, sometimes we are even us for ourselves
Not only in those dictatorships : in France too, where the defence rights do not exist.
Soul stirring to the core
A true Musician, Sir Peter Gabriel. Lyrics, melody and composition is breathtaking. A piece of music that holds purpose.
Brilliant backing vocal. ty

[Verse 1]
6 by 6 from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor, you got damp in the bed
They're trying to get you crazy, get you out of your head
And they feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defences, no compromise
Nothing you can do, the day can be long
Your mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
[Chorus]
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullеts, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bonе
[Verse 2]
They take you out and the light burns your eyes
To the talking room, it's no surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath
They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
[Chorus]
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone
